Considering it's only been in the games, leaving that as our only reference for its appearance, I'd hope so

What a ship has appeared in really determines the level of accuracy we have to give it. If it was only in say, TIE Fighter, its only reference is a very low quality model, so we have a lot of artistic license to make it what we want. However, the R-41 was actually a pretty neat looking ship, so Tempest didn't mind sticking closely to the TG stuff, and just adding a little more mesh detail here and there. I'm quite impressed with this one actually.
